This Slow Cooker Baked Beans Recipe is a favourite of mine.  They are sweet, and a little spicy, and definitely worth making from scratch.

A few years ago, we were at ribfest, and my husband ordered ribs that came with a side of baked beans. I didn’t dislike baked beans, but they weren’t on my fav. list either. Until, I tried homemade ones. They were sweet and spicy and awesome.

Since ribfest is only once a year, it seemed like a good idea to try and make some at home. I’ve made these many times, and tweaked them a little to perfect them. I like them sweet, but if you don’t like them too sweet, reduce the sugar. I also like a little spice so there’s a tsp of chili flakes in these, but you can adjust it up or down depending on your taste. They’d be great with fresh hot peppers in them too.

If you’re a fan of baked beans and never tried a homemade version you are going to love these -and they’re really easy to make in the  slow cooker. We’ve made these a few times to go with ribs, and this week I made them for fajita night. It got me thinking that they’d be an awesome make ahead for a camping trip, just make them at home and re-heat on the camp stove.  They’re pretty much awesome any time really.
